Welcome to Harrow Shanghai! We are a high-performing and market-leading international British curriculum school located in one of the most exciting cities in the world.
We offer an independent, British international education from Early Years to Upper Sixth within a modern and purpose-built campus just 35 minutes from the centre of the city. Shanghai is a great city, life is dynamic and varied, and there is a sense of energy and drive everywhere.
The School was launched in September 2016 and has grown into one of China's leading international schools. Working at Harrow is a delight. The pupils are engaged, aspirational and hard working, their parents are highly supportive and the staff are committed and close-knit. The community is exceptionally strong. Pupils achieve highly both within and outside the classroom and go on to enter many of the world's most competitive universities, including Oxbridge. Over the last four years, our Upper Sixth leavers have achieved an average of close to 75% A*/A grades across all A Levels taken. IGCSE results are also impressive, as is the progress achieved by our younger pupils.
Harrow is, though, about much more than simply outstanding academic results. Our pupils excel in a wide range of fields, including music, drama, sport and the arts, as well as involving themselves in service to the local community.
The School is seeking a well-qualified and capable EAL Teacher to commence in post in August 2025. We are looking for teachers who have a love of teaching, the ability to challenge a wide range of pupil abilities, and who take a real pleasure in the company of children. We are keen to appoint teachers who have been trained and have experience in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada or the US.
Successful applicants can expect a generous salary, a performance-related bonus, accommodation, medical and flight benefits, and 100% tuition fees remission for up to two children.
Moreover, working within the AISL Harrow Group of schools, which works closely with Harrow London and is expanding rapidly, will provide an ideal opportunity for career development and promotion, not least through the recently launched AISL Academy for Professional Learning and a wide range of accredited courses through our partnership with UCL.
How to apply:
Interviews will take place online or in London on November 25th or 26th.
Application deadline: Friday 8th November, although please note that the School reserves the right to make appointments ahead of this deadline and we often move quickly.
Harrow Shanghai is committed to safeguarding the children in our care and their welfare is our top priority. All adults in the School community are expected to follow its Child Protection procedures and are required to undertake safeguarding checks.

Harrow Shanghai was the fourth international school in the Harrow family of schools, initially joining those in Bangkok, Beijing and Hong Kong, alongside the historic Harrow School and its near-neighbour, John Lyon School, in London. There are now 12 AISL Harrow schools: Shenzhen, Chongqing, Nanning, Haikou, Zhuhai and the Hong Kong Children's School in China and Appi in Japan.
The School is organised as follows:

• Early Years -Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Reception
• Primary -Years 1- 5
• Upper School -Years 6- 13

The School combines elements of educational philosophy, practice and traditions from Harrow School in London within an international context. It is envisaged that the School will eventually grow to a roll of approximately 950. As with the other Harrow Schools, Shanghai’s vision, 'Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership', is realised by means of a characteristically Harrow approach to schooling which demands of students and teachers high academic attainment, involvement in a rich array of extra-curricular activities, and engagement in high quality pastoral support structures, particularly the House system. Students are assigned into Houses where their which their academic and all-round well-being is monitored, nurtured and supported.
